Hey all,

Just bought my first Q45 this weekend. Its a 1993 with 104k miles on it and in pretty good shape. I am VERY familiar with Nissans. I am an avid Z31(300zx) enthusiast and considered one of the more knowledgeable members of Z31 and Z31performance.com.

Since I am new to the Q, I was wondering if anyone has run into an issue of your interior lights flashing for ~30-60 seconds when you get in the car? I tried removing the fuseable link but it didnt change anything. I havent had time to really look into the issue yet and already searched the forum but didnt come up with anything.

I detailed her, flushed the engine, gave it some fuel injector cleaner, cleaned the MAF and throttle body this weekend. On top of that I installed my Watanabe RS-8's that I had sitting on my Z31 project car. The stance of the car is perfect. I will be putting pics up later today in the 'show your ride' section.

Kind of sounds like an aftermarket alarm that's not being disarmed properly to me...

Welcome to NICO!

Yeah, I live on the MA border and work in Pepperell, I think I could take a trip to the coast, you are only 30-45min from my work. Do you have a code reader too? I am running into a rough idle situation. Cleaning the MAF and changing the oil definitely helped and reduced the roughness significantly. I think it might be the Idle Air Controller, but not sure. Going to look into it this week.

Q451990:I think you might be right about the aftermarket system, I didnt see anything under the hood off glance, going to try to track it down this week. I can hear an electrical clicking in the drivers door when it happens.

Here is a pic of her:
